Chapter 982: Calm in the Midst of Chaos
The house shall not be without sorghum for a day, and the country shall not be without an owner for a day. At present, Li Chengqian and Li Tai have been demoted out of Chang'an City because of their deaths, so the position of the crown prince has really become an unsolved case.
Those who originally took refuge in Li Chengqian or King Wei didn't have time to be sad at the moment. Because if nothing else, the two of them basically missed the position of the prince. Therefore, the position of crown prince can only be produced among the remaining princes.
In officialdom, we don't talk about human feelings, but only about interests. The people in the officialdom are realistic, and when they find that you don't have the slightest benefit to claim, they will not hesitate to kick you away, and then find another master.
It's such a reality, it's just such a mercenary.
After Li Tai and Li Chengqian were demoted from Chang'an, this group of ministers set their sights on the prince who remained in Chang'an.
Li Zhi, a descendant, is usually well-behaved and low-key, and is deeply loved by Li Shimin, and is currently the most powerful contender for the throne among the princes.
Li Ke, although he is a concubine, but fortunately, his age is acceptable, several years older than Li Zhi, and neither his knowledge nor cultivation can be compared to Li Zhi, a little hairy child. Therefore, although he is not a prince, he is also listed by the ministers as the most powerful candidate for the throne.
As for the other princes...... It's okay to selectively ignore it, Li Shimin shouldn't be so boring, risking the world's condemnation and making fun of his own country.
Li Zhi finally saw the darkness in officialdom at a young age. When his two elder brothers were still there, there were not many people in the court to talk to him, and now that the two elder brothers are gone, the people who want to meet him every day can line up from the palace gate to the Xuanwu Gate, people, they really do everything for the sake of profit! Cheek is such a thing...... If you care too much, don't mess around in officialdom, there's not much point.
However, fortunately, Chen Fei had already anticipated this situation, and found Li Zhi before many ministers could react, and told him to withstand the sweet words of the following people, otherwise it was very likely to follow in the footsteps of his two brothers.
You know, even if a person has no desires and no desires, when the whole world suddenly smashes on his head, he will still be dizzy. This time is also the easiest time to make mistakes, and if you are not careful, you will never recover. Li Tai is the best example.
If he is not carried away by utilitarianism and is not in a hurry to assassinate Li Chengqian, as long as he ascends honestly for a while, I believe that the position of the crown prince still has a great chance to stay with him. It's a pity that the more times like this, the more you have to be patient, and those who can't bear it often don't end well. Just like him now, the crown prince is completely out of his favor.
It is estimated that Li Tai is depressed at this moment and should want to hit the wall.
Fortunately, Li Zhi relied on Chen Fei very much, and after listening to Chen Fei's admonition, he suppressed the excitement in his heart and stayed in the palace honestly. It's been a long time, and no one has been lining up all day long to see Li Zhi.
There are some people who are active in their minds, but they pay attention to Li Ke. Because Li Zhi is still young and still lives in the palace on weekdays, it is not easy to meet, but Li Ke is different, he lives in the big courtyard of Chang'an City every day, and it is undoubtedly much more convenient to see him, not to mention that Li Ke is also a popular candidate for the throne.
So in the past few days, there have been fewer people to see Li Zhi in front of the palace, but there is an endless stream of people who go to Li Ke's mansion to visit.
What made these ministers helpless was that although Li Ke would receive them politely, he never mentioned the matter of fighting for the throne, which made these ministers feel that they had nowhere to use their punches on cotton, and they were so depressed that they almost vomited old blood.
Three days later, Hou Junji committed suicide by taking poison in prison, and when the news came, the Manchu Dynasty was embarrassed.
It is very touching that a generation of generals has finally fallen into such a fate.
Li Shimin also remembered Hou Junji's merits and gave him a decent death, leaving him with the last dignity of being a general - he ended his life. And after the death of Hou Junji, Li Shimin buried him with the gift of a marquis, in order to repay him for his life as a Tang Dynasty horse and the merits of fighting in all directions.
The case of the prince's rebellion began vigorously at the end of the sixteenth year of Zhenguan, and finally ended with the defeat of the prince and the king of Wei. There was a brief moment of panic at the court, but it soon returned to normal.
How to say it, Chen Fei felt that the court was now a lot more harmonious, although he didn't have much time to participate in the court meeting, but in the past, if two parties with different camps put forward different opinions, it would inevitably develop into a big tear between the two parties in the end.
Now that the crown prince and the king of Wei are all gone, the party headed by them has naturally dissipated, there is no partisan dispute, and the court is naturally much more harmonious.
Well, it's good, Chen Fei likes this kind of atmosphere. Originally, the same dynasty is an official, and it is best to be in harmony, but when you meet, you are like an enemy, and your eyes are red, every day you guard against me, I guard against you, it doesn't make much sense.
The days passed in a blink of an eye, and the court temporarily stopped, but Chen Fei's business became more and more prosperous.
The sweater launched by Chen Kee last year has gone from not being favored or recognized in just a few months to being quickly sold at home and abroad!
There is even a craze for wearing sweaters in winter, which is popular all winter.
Because sweaters are warm and unfamiliar cotton clothes, not only cheap, but also diversified in style, a sweater can be matched with various colors, and it is really beautiful to wear on the body.
The foreign businessmen who came to Datang were also impressed by the charm of the sweater, and bought it out of stock after bringing it back to China, so they hurriedly came back to continue purchasing, so that the sweater was completely entered the world.
Chen Fei has another title - the founder of sweaters!
At this moment, Chen Ji should be regarded as the world's earliest "multinational group", and its business has been done in Western European countries. Chen Fei also had a very crazy idea in his mind - since the country has no money to build a big ship, it is better for me to pay for it myself! Open up maritime trade and open the Age of Exploration ahead of schedule.
According to the advanced weapons and national strength of Datang, the sooner the Age of Exploration begins, the easier it will be to conquer the world!
"! Anyway, if you have a lot of money, you can't use it up, so Lao Tzu can't do it, and you can't build a small-scale treasure ship by smashing him for tens of thousands of taels of silver! ”
He has a complete set of treasure ship drawings in his hand, as long as there are sufficient funds and craftsmen, I believe that a small scale treasure ship can be built in less than half a year, and when the finished product comes out, please Li Shimin to observe it, I believe that this emperor who is so ambitious that he wants to eat the whole world will be very interested in conquering the world!
Chen Fei was determined to bleed, and did what he said. After coming to the Qi Workshop, he found Li Zhuo with a smile: "Lao Li, let me tell you something........." ()
